On April %, the Interstate Commerce
Commission suspended section Of that
law for seVenty-6ve days, subject to re-
vocation. Section relates to the long
and short haul clause and suspension
applied to the trans-c0ntinental lines,
since that time the commission have
heard the representatives Of these Vari-
GUS lines, on making this suspension
permanent. There was developed In the
Senate during the passage Of this bill
some curious rates. Thus 1t was shown
that a car load Of freight from New

That the railroads are determined to
make stubborn fight there is evidence,
In the fact that the lines to California
have raised the price for long haul, to
equal that Of the short one. By doing
this the unscrupulOus manipulstors Of
commerce see how they can cut off the
trade Of many manufacturers who have
done business heretofore on the Pacific
coast. That railroad property, like any
other, should be managed for Its own
best interests, goes without saying, but
that they should abuse their prerOgative

JOHN G. CALHOUN was admitted In his
day and generation to be an eminent
statesman.
When the death of John G. Calhoun
was announced In the House Of Repre-
sentativss on April 1st, 1850, the voice
of New England was heard through
Robert G. Winthrop, Of Massachusetts,
who seconded the resolutions Of regret
for the nations loss.
"Let us find fresh bonds Of brother
hood and Of union In the cherished
memories Of those who have gone be-
fore u.s." said the ex.speaker, "and let
us resolve, so far as In US lies, the day
shall never come when New England
men may not speak of the great names
Of the South, whether among the dead
or among the living, as Of Americans
and fellow.countTymen,"
The anniversary was marked by an
interesting event last week Tuesday,
namely, the unVeillng at Charleston Of
q monument to the memory Of John c.
Calhoun, ceremony to which the Pres
ldent and many of the leading citizsns
of the United States were invited. Re.
publican papers are carping at the
President and others speaking kindly Of
Mr.. Calhoun. But others have done the
same. Daniel Webster said of him In
the Senate:
If he had aspirations they were high,
honorable and noble. There was moth
ing groVeiing, or low, or meanly selfish
that came near the head or the heart Of
Mr.. Calhoun. Firm in his purpose, per-
fectly patriOtio and honest as am sure
he was In the principles that he es-
poused, and In the measures that he de-
Tended, l do not believe he had selfish
motive or selfish feeling,
Henry Clay In eulogizlng him said:
trust we shall be instructed by the
eminent virtues end merits of his ex
slted character, and be taught by his
bright example to fulfil our great pub.
lie duties by the lights OF our own judg-
ment and the dictates of our own con-
sciences, as he did, according to bis hon.
est and best conceptions Of those duties,
faithfully and to the last.
Nj. Calhoun died ten years before the
war of the rebellion began, and now q
few little partisan politicians, forty
years after his death, and even twenty
years after the peaceful reunion ana
settlement of the sections, are so con-
temptible as to revlle the memory Of
him whose character Webster, Clay and
winthrop spoke In high praise.

EUROPEAN EMIGRATION.

The arrivals last week In New York
were thirteen thousand, mostly bound
for the west and only staying In the
city long enough to transfer their b2g-
gage and themselves to the railway
trains. The indications are that the
immigration this year may run close to
the figures Of 1881 and 1882 with their
seven hundred thousand each. In the
London Truth Mr.. Labouchere gives the
explanation Of this human wave. For
war debts and for armsmel ts together
Europe Is now paying at the rate of
nearly So 600, 100000 year (the precise
sum is stated at 1894, 76O ,0OO) and the
United States but $90.000.OO0, These
are Mr. Labouchere's figures, but be
takes no account for pensions which
would nearly double the sum
for this country. The expenditures
In Europe for war purposes
are constantly increasing, while
those of the United States are diminish.

THE Dispatch has been much dis
turbed In spirit because In the latter
part of the last Democratic administra.
zion the State Prison failed to be self
sustaining. Since an administration,
which was put In power mainly on this
issue, has almost served Its time and the
institution Is no nearer self sustaining
than when 1t was insugurated, our eve
ming contemporary is resorting to all
sorts Of explansti rs Of the failure Of
its Republican friends to fulfill their
promises In this matter. Its latest ef-
fort Is the most sbsurd. 1t finds that
the releasing Of prisoners under the
parole law is causing the finances to
run behind" According to this logic,
II all the prisoners were turned out and
the prison abolished, there would still
be a big annual deficit coming from
where the pTison was. Great headl-

THE TRUE SYSTEM OF ADvEEr1 ING

P. T. Barnum, the great Snowman,
who is known all over the world, in sd-
dressing q body Of business lnen at
Bridgeport, Conn.,, a short time since,
said:
"You do not, any of you, advertise
enough. You ought to use printers
Ink every day. You are asleep and want
your business to run itself Standing
advertisements In a paper command
confidence. The man who for year
lives In one community and leads a rep
utable life. even though he be Of moder-
ate ability. will grow In the esteem and
confidence Of his fellows. On the same
principle newspaper advertisement
becomes familiar to the eyes of the
reader. 1t may seldom be read still 1t
makes the name and business of the
man familiar, and It's presence in the col
umns Of paper inspires confidence in
the stability Of its enterprise"

NATIONAL DEBT AND WAR EXPEN.
DITURE.

The Financial RefoTmer for April
contains some interesting statistics In
regard to the debt of Europe and its war
expenditure. In 1866 the debt Of
Europe was estimated at e2,640, 900 COO,
and the amount requisite for interest
on 1t was e97,520.000. At present the
debt is e4,684, 100000, and the amount
requisite for interest on 1t is e2lS 640, :
COO. Now take the United Sta es. In
1866 the debt was e600,000,000, entail
ing q charge for interest of e29, 200 900.
In 1885 the debt was e2S9,000,000, and
the annual charge was Gl0, 100000. The
amount annually spent by the European
countries to keep up their armies and
DaVies is el8l 10000. The amonnt
spent by the United States is about
G80C0,0O0. Adding, therefore, costs for
war debts AMI for arnaments together.
1t will be seen that Europe pays 1894,
100000 and the United States el8,000,-
600 per annum. How possibly can
Europe hope to hold her own against
her transatlantic rival, when she hRndi-
caps herself In the strug gle for CONNER
cial supremacy With the stupenduOus
charge e376.C10 0C0 per snnump As If
this were not enough, Europe ls each
